labor day at tiny gram's

We spent Labor Day with my cousin Mary Jo and her family at Tiny Gram's house.  Some pics for family enjoyment...

thanks, simone, for bringing the toys and puzzles!

owie saying goodbye to scarlett...

... with a big old hug

I took lots more photos of Scarlett because she's the littlest and gets all the attention.  You can see some of them here.

We don't see everyone all that often, and Bobby usually takes a while to warm up, but he has fun observing and doing his own thing.  Later this night I mentioned Scarlett and he said, "Yeah, Stah-wett.  Isn't she tute?  But, too bad I didn't hold her."  He likes people more than he lets on sometimes.  And I think that's fine.  He can be reserved if he wants to be.  But we do need to keep working on "being nice" and sharing and whatnot.

A random day out of many, many good days.

Goodnight, folks.

MASS MoCA {the land of photo ops}

My mother in law was around a couple of weeks ago so my mom skipped work and we went up to MASS MoCA; I'd never been.

Here's what I loved about MASS MoCA: the photo ops were endless.

Here's what I didn't love about MASS MoCA: there was absolutely nothing for kids.  Everything is strictly "no touching" which is a little unfun with a two year old.

I suppose I don't have the greatest appreciation for or understanding of modern art, but this instrument explosion exhibit was pretty cool.

Bob was killing me because he wasn't the least bit interested in having his photo taken, but MASS MoCA would be an awesome place for portraits.

The Kidspace gallery had an "Under the Sea" exhibition, but art that appeals to children is actually just a greater form of torture: everything looks so fun to touch!

The best part for Bob was our nursing break at the outdoor exhibit "12 picnic tables"...

... which he pretended was a house.  Pretty sure it wasn't intended for climbing, but... too bad.  How getting about some climbable art?

Here's how Owen experienced the majority of the day...

That's me.  Just a cool lady taking two babies and two grandmas to the art museum.

It was worth the trip because my mom's sweet boss gave us free passes, but I don't know that we'll be going back anytime soon.

{I'd love to head back for a portrait session, though.  Interested?  Email me here.}

Having a blog as an extension of your website seems to be the cool thing for photographers to do nowadays, so here's mine: http://conveyableflow.wordpress.com/ (still a work in progress).

I've also added a "mini" session to my packages for people on a budget.  Book your session on the North Shore now, before your summer tan wears off.  I'll only be here for three more weeks!
